State Representatives
Our State Representatives
The Minnesota Legislature consists of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Senators are elected from 67 single-member districts. Representatives are elected from 134 single-member districts formed by dividing the 67 senate districts in half and are labeled as district ‘A’ or ‘B.’
